How it works

Once created and tagged with a department, News will automatically appear on the department page and the homepage. It will also automatically create news list pages, which archive all past news posted on SF.gov.

If you do not want to use the template on sf.gov, this content type includes a URL field for an off-site page to redirect to.

Examples

Fire safety tips during the holiday season and San Francisco observes Transgender Day of Remembrance
